Uncharted 2 & 3 are stellar games imo. Tomb Raider is great, but just not on the same level.

From what I can tell from this post, Tomb Raider is superior in most of the ways that matter.

Keep in mind that neither game is a incredibly complex and deep but Tomb Raider does have much more depth than the Uncharted titles.  I don't think that anyone can argue that (provided they play both).  The thing is, we have a breed of gamer that doesn't actually want to play a game (and yeah, sometimes, I fall into that demographic).  They just care about graphics and story.  Nothing wrong with that.  The thing is, I personally think that Tomb Raider beats Uncharted in those areas, too!

Based on ghettoglamour's categories, I'd say Uncharted beats Tomb Raider in characters (Sully and Elena ftw!) and having a tighter, but not actually better, story.  That's it.  But, like they say, opinions are like assholes--Everybody's got one and most of them stink.
